  • Abstract
    Epilepsy is a neurological disorder involving recurrent abnormal discharges of neurons that produce epileptic seizures, affecting the human brain. Locating the exact seizure portion in the brain is very important for predicting the reoccurrence of epileptic seizure. Many techniques have been used for seizure prediction, but they are computationally expensive. In this paper we propose the Nonlinear Mathematical technique (simple to calculate) from the theory of chaos, fractals and clustering methods to locate the brain sites by analyzing the Electroencephalogram signals.
